Marcus du Sautoy

Mark and Stuart talk to renowned mathematician Marcus du Sautoy about the connections between maths and music.

This week on Radcliffe & Maconie, it's 'Big Science' week - with special guests from the worlds of science, technology and music. Today's guest is renowned mathematician Marcus du Sautoy. Author and Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University, Marcus joins Mark and Stuart to discuss his work with composer Emily Howard. The pair recently collaborated on a new composition for a string quartet while exploring the connections between maths and music.

Also on the show today... trusty show staple The Chain - where you, the actual listener, get the chance to link one track to the one before AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T REPEAT - and Teatime Themetime, where you could gain instant VIP backstage passes to the office biscuit tin by being first to guess what connects all three records. PLUS there's Music News, with all the latest updates on what's happening in the music world. And all the new releases that float Mark or Stuart's musical paper boats!
